Might toughen him up a bit.

500k wasnt it? £1.5m is the fee I read the other day when he was talking about Arsenal. Just checked NUFC.com and it says tbc. Even better deal if it was £500k.

I quite like him. Not a spectacular player by any stretch but has a decent range of passing. Hasn't he put a bit of weight on since Ramos left?

Bassong. Brought in for a relatively low fee at £1.5m and has exceeded all expectations. Would be such a shame to see him leave but such is his quality I couldn't blame him with the mess we're in.

Thats fucking shite How come?

Our best performer this season who also is one of the most poorly paid. I would give him a good deal now, then IF we are relegated we'll have no trouble whatsoever selling him.

Good to see him back. Greatest player in my lifetime.

He's French, of course Wenger will be linked to him.

I've gotten used to the idea that he'll never be available for selection.

Relying on Martins is like rolling a dice and hoping you get a six. Sometimes it takes a couple of times to get it, other times you get it straight away.

Viduka spotted in the canteen polishing off yesterdays leftovers.

Take away Dennis Wise, and the potential managers list increases by 99%.

If problems get that bad they'll probably extend the window.

You just know Enrique is due an injury so we need another left back to come in for him if he's ever out.

Abandoned in the wilderness of France.

£8m is a huge risk considering his injury problems recently and alleged problems off the field.

Tough call. Maybe someone like Delph for midfield though I can't say I've seen a lot of the lad. Someone like Joe Mattock to give Enrique a bit of competiton/be his understudy.

The red card killed the game (wasn't much life in it anyways but could have had a better finale) Atmosphere was shit up until Torres' first goal. After that they sprang to life.

I think if you gave him the opportunity to spray that ball across to Jones or take the shot on his own, he'd miss them 9 times out of 10. But for the fun of mocking the mackems, he did it on purpose cos he couldn't bear seeing us lose. Go go Michael Chopra. [to the tune of Power Rangers]

Was the Milner money paid up front by Villa?

So thats 50 goals for Ameobi in the black and white. Jesus wept. Another 3 years of that if we're unlucky. I wouldnt mind as much if he worked his socks off but hes once again in his comfort zone. Played for his new contract and has a manager stupid enough to give him one. Even Allardyce saw how shite he was and sent him out on loan.

Good impact by him I thought, always felt when he was chasing the ball that he was going to get it. Needs more playing time than this to make any sort of impact though, he's coming on far too late.

I still think Jonas is a very able player, but he's so predictable to watch. If you've got two strikers over 6 foot up front, rather than say a Michael Owen + Martins combo, you have to be looking to play it in, whereas with the latter duo you might have to cut in more cos it's unlikely they'll win many headers. Get him telt Joe!

Couple of times the ball went out to Jonas in a good crossing position, and he either cut inside or passed it back to Enrique. Needs to play more centrally if he's not going to do the basics that is the bread and butter for every winger.
